One of the aspects of the Mediterranean diet is the acceptance of quite a bit of olive oil. But it is important not to fall into too much white bread or pasta. There is a lot of vegetable dishes in that traditional diet, including dark green ones. In Vancouver, you&#39;ll find great vegetable dishes from Asian countries. <br /><br />And on a completely different topic, our friend Simons has its &quot;Prix Pop&quot; promotion running now.

They make me crave all the simple starch and sugars, but that only leads to more crashes later---much better to eat lots of protein and fiber and avoid them. Which it sounds like you&#39;re doing. Have fun with the meter!

One time my blood sugar was really low, like around 50, I think, and she crowed that it was wonderful because hers was always way too high. As an adult, I looked that number up and realized it was far too low and she was simply uneducated about the lower numbers. As a result of that and the way I get shaky and sweat if I get too hungry, I&#39;ve wondered if I have hypoglycemia. <br /><br />Have you ever tried an Atkins type diet? I did around 15 years ago and I remember feeling less hungry and shaky, but I love sugar so much that it took all the joy out of my life, and I could only do it for a few months. All of this together makes me want to get my own monitor (or maybe just use my grandmother&#39;s regularly the next time I visit). I&#39;m certain I&#39;m going to end up with diabetes because of my sugar intake, but I&#39;m not sure what to do about it. I&#39;m sure decreasing my sugar intake would help with my pain as well, but sugar is my only vice and I don&#39;t know how to kick the habit.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400739077092686995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-49536017003927065562017-04-30T18:32:01.367-04:002017-04-30T18:32:01.367-04:00Ok - I&#39;m a rare commenter, but have to weigh i...Ok - I&#39;m a rare commenter, but have to weigh in here - I&#39;ve been thinking of doing exactly this! My dear endocrinologist (I have a thyroid disorder) finally told me I have hypoglycemia b/c of my strong reaction to eating/not eating. I never did the test, because it involves fasting, which is absurd for me. In my 20s, I figured out that I wasn&#39;t getting deeply depressed every afternoon - I needed to eat. But, now, 20 years later, I&#39;m still not able to completely deal with blood sugar lows. And, man do I have to think about what and how I eat - or I become totally non-functional. A diet like you describe sounds like it would really work - but I haven&#39;t been able to get myself to go there. So, thank you so much for sharing your research! Sending the best of wishes.

My aches and pains aren&#39;t completely gone, but much better. I can get up from a chair now without using leverage. It may sound silly, but for the last year it had been agonizing to push myself up from a seated position. He has had great success with TYPE 2 diabetes (adult onset). Not trying to sell anyone anything, because I myself am doing his program for free:<br /><br />https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/free-mcdougall-program/introduction/SewTypicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734309915613761051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-56850920341847980592017-04-30T13:16:26.184-04:002017-04-30T13:16:26.184-04:00Coming from a family of diabetics (mom, two sister...Coming from a family of diabetics (mom, two sisters and two brothers) I was determined not to go that route if possible. When my A1C was at 7 my doctor gave me the opportunity to get a meter, and go to a nutritionist and see if I could get it under control. I used the meter every morning before eating to get my fasting sugars and made some major changes to my eating habits. Less sugar and refined carbs-clean eating, I guess they call it now. 8 years later I am down to an A1C of 5.7 and my doctor is happy. I still have not lost weight, but that has been on ongoing dilemma for me. I think it can be a wonderful tool for keeping track of your blood sugar. Here in BC, I get coupons in the mail for new monitors all the time. They are free. I didn&#39;t need a prescription for one, but I did need a card from the doctor to purchase my tester strips...Good luck and hopefully it will give you the information that you need. <br />Barbbbarnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399421440007975826noreply@blogger.com
